| Parasound JC-1 - Standby during playback? EssentialNo, but I have had turn on "thumps" when turning on the JC2/JC1 if I power it up cold from the AC plug. That is even if the JC2 runs its delay mute, I find that the mute time is not long enough to prevent these thumps through the JC1s.Whe... | |
| $1,500 Amp budget - Best options? Make sure whatever amp you pick will drive the three ohms (actually 3.5 on the older 804s).Most of those amps are rated for 4 ohm minimum loads. Best to find one that can drive a two ohm load.I use the Parasound JC1 on my 803Ds, but I know that is... | |

Where I live, we have nasty hard water thats over 40 gr/gallon hardness.I guarantee you if you rinse under this water you will leave a bunch of mineral deposits in your gro... | |
| Dbpoweramp .flac AudioengrIf .wav files are the best sounding, why do sites like HDtracks only sell music in FLAC?I would love to buy HD stuff in .wav as my PWT will play them directly. As it is, I have to file convert from FLAC to .WAV and its a pain. | |
| New CD´s with errors, acording to dBpoweramp A number of months back I posted on the measurement of C1 error rates on various audio CDs I tested with my Plextor DVD drive. They have a utility on a PC (PlexUtilities) that will scan any CD/DVD for errors. I found a large variation in error rat... | |
